WhatsApp is introducing themed icons for contacts and group chats, adding a vibrant touch to its interface. This new feature aims to improve the visual organization of chats, making it easier for users to identify conversations at a glance.
The themed icons will be particularly useful for contacts and groups without profile pictures. Each contact or group will be assigned a unique color, similar to the icons in a phone’s address book, making them easily distinguishable.
This update is part of WhatsApp’s broader effort to modernize its visual design. The platform has already been experimenting with theme options that allow users to customize the app’s main color. The addition of themed icons further enhances the visual appeal and user experience.
Themed icons will also help differentiate between group chats with similar names or those without a designated group icon. The distinct colors and designs will make it easier for users to quickly identify the correct chat.
This visual enhancement, while seemingly small, can significantly improve the overall user experience on WhatsApp, making it more visually appealing and organized.
